Leroy Sane will be hoping Huddersfield can defeat Manchester United on Saturday and it appears he gave his friend Danny Williams a pep talk ahead of the fixture.

Sane and Williams, who were joined by Leicester full back Danny Simpson, went out for drinks on Thursday as they took a rare breather from football. It is not known how the trio struck up a friendship.

Simpson, meanwhile, will be preparing to play under caretaker manager Michael Appleton for the first time following Craig Shakespeare's sacking.

Appleton said of Shakespeare's dismissal: 'Obviously the meeting before we went out to training was a little bit raw.

'People were disappointed and wanted questions answering, but I'm not the person for that.

'From my point of view it's all the questions that are for certain senior members and not myself. I didn't release Craig and I'm not sure of the reasons why. If there's a million and one questions thrown at me regarding "why this?" and "why that?" then you're probably asking the wrong person.'
